Question 1
The figure below shows the front and rear view of a disc, which is shaded with identical patterns. The disc
is flipped once with respect to any one of the fixed axes 1-1, 2-2 or 3-3 chosen uniformly at random.
What is the probability that the disc DOES NOT retain the same front and rear views after the flipping
operation?

Question 2
There are two identical dice with a single letter on each of the faces. The following six letters : Q, R, S,
T, U and V, one on each of the faces. Any of the six outcomes are equally likely.
The two dice are thrown once independently at random.
What is the probability that the outcomes on the dice were composed only of any combination of the
following possible outcomes : Q, U and V?

Question 4
A game consists of spinning an arrow around a stationary disc as shown below. When the arrow comes to
rest, there are eight equally likely outcomes. It could come to rest in any one of the sectors numbered 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 as shown. Two such disks are used in a game where their arrows are independently
spun. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers on the resulting sectors upon spinning the two
disks is equal to 8 after the arrows come to rest?
